Self Portrait Thread...

There was a time when I was known on this site for my Self Portraits. For some reason I prefer not to go into I had gotten out of the spirit of taking them. However, with a new camera and new lighting equipment, I have begun to once again feel the urge to turn my lens around on myself.

Here is my lateset effort. It is highly PS'd, but that is only because I was looking for a specific look.

Please share some of your SP's here.

You're in luck! I'm doing one this week!


ps...are you wearing lipstick?!?

Why not. Shot this morning while setting lighting for dance portraits of my daughter. I was just getting ready to re-aim the hairlight. Nikon D200, 70mm 1/25 -f/8 on sticks with a self timer.

Nope, thems just me natural lips. However, I really like the way they came out in this, so I think I am gonna get me some dark lipstick and eye makeup for the next attempt.

Another one from me. I just got me a new remote!

Remotes are fun, I got the one for my D70s (rare little buggers to find).

anywho, from the Muskoka Regional Center...look closely and you'll see.

Just in case that doesnt work:

did you cross the line and trespass?

In keeping with the thread and the season. Here is my latest attempt at self portrait.

Heres one of mine, also kinda with the season even though we haven't had hardly any snow.

I've got two I like.

Representing for all the guys with long hair. :)

Rock on.

Long hair for the win, I think, I'm donating mine soon though, it drives me insane.

Dunno if I did cross the line and trespass, they do curve inward at drastic angles dont they?

Good to see an enthusiast! I mean, All the girls I know love my hair. But all the guys I know hate it.

WTF is up with this world?

Anyways, it doesnt get in my face that much. I trim the hair infront of it pretty frequently. And by me trim, I mean my mom.

But yeah, I think this is a really great pic of me.

Dude that is a great shot. Never shave!

This is a post of firsts for me. My first self portrait, made with my first pinhole camera.

http://www.cmcpics.com/blogimages/glasses.jpg

Taken with my iMac. It's awkward to carry, and the battery life sucks, but I like the way it renders skin tones. Reminds me of Velvia.

This was the day I got my new glasses. And my new hat. Warmest hat EVAR. Mmmm... hat.

from my most recent series... which I don't like, but I'm redoing.

crappy yellow lighting....next time I'm busting out the lighting setups.

Wow thanks !
I didn't think it was great by any means.
I did fiddle about a bit in Lightroom because the LZ5 colour balance is a little iffy.

Nice posts, all. I have been meaning to try and get some more formal self-portraits done but never get around to it, so, here I go in a car window . . .

Been meaning to do this for two weeks...busy busy busy

oh yeah...

how is there a self portrait thread and we don't see Rick or Speed at all?

They have been waiting on you. Up till now they didn't figure there was any real competition.

Oh yeah I like your first one. As always great eyes or in this case eye.
